1) Bring your players into the game by using
props. It can really make the game seem real if instead of just telling your players they receive a blood stained scroll from the bishop, you actually
hand them a blood stained scroll from the bishop. Use some calligraphy, age the paper, add water, fire, or blood stains as appropriate. You can give them a burnt map with dwarven runes on it that they have to figure out how to decipher (hired NPC for example, or maybe one of the group speaks that form of dwarvish?).

It will take the pleasure out of the game. Whatever the players do won't matter since there is this uber guy (or gall  ) will save their butts. Besides, if they do something stupid, they deserve to die. It will make the game more exciting for them as they'll do anything to keep themselves from getting killed. |
Agreed.
